End of Support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 Protocols

To maintain our rigorous security standards and adhere to global industry compliance, Hostinger Mail will be retiring support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 across our entire infrastructure. These legacy protocols are now considered obsolete and are no longer recognized as secure by the international technical community.

What action do I need to take?

To prevent any interruption to your email service, please verify that your devices, third-party applications, and email software are configured to use TLS 1.2 or a more recent version before the scheduled decommission dates.

• Switch to Webmail: For a seamless experience, you can access your inbox via our webmail interface, which natively supports current TLS standards.
• Update Software: Ensure your email applications (like Outlook or Mac Mail) are updated to the latest version to guarantee TLS 1.2 compatibility.
• Check Operating Systems: Older platforms (such as Windows XP or macOS versions prior to 10.10) may not support modern encryption protocols. You may need to upgrade your OS to maintain connectivity.

Timeline for protocol decommission

Connections using legacy protocols will be phased out on March 30, 2025. The following services will be impacted:

NOTE: After March 30, 2025, any connection attempt made via TLS 1.0 or 1.1 will be automatically rejected.

Industry standard alignment

This transition aligns Hostinger Mail with the security benchmarks set by major technology organizations:

How will this affect me?

The vast majority of Hostinger Mail users will not notice any change. Our data indicates that less than 0.01% of traffic currently originates from these outdated versions.

Because modern browsers and current email clients have defaulted to TLS 1.2 or 1.3 for several years, most users are already protected. However, if you utilize specialized legacy hardware or very old software versions, you may experience connection failures once these updates are live.
